The target audience for the media product is males and females ages 16-30 who enjoy the indie and rock music genres. The document analyzes several images of people and argues they would appeal to and fit the target demographic based on their clothing styles, estimated ages, and interests in indie and/or rock music.

1. Question 4
Who would your audience be for your media
product?

2. My Target Audience
My target audience is aimed at both genders in
the age range of 16-30. It is based off the two
genres Indie and Rock. I think that this was a
good idea as you don’t see many magazines
that appeal to both genders and have the age
range that I focus on, and that feature these
two genres together.

3. This person suits the audience
that I based my magazine
around, as the clothes hat he is
wearing indicate that he is
interested in the Indie genre.
He also looks around the age of
25, which is in the age range of
my target audience, which is
16-30.

4. I think that this person’s style of
clothing also represents what I
aimed for from my target
audience. His clothes connote
that he has more of a serious and
rock themed look. His clothes
also suggest that he is in a Rock
band, so people will more or less
copy his style of clothing, and will
pick up any kind of magazine that
has someone that looks like him
on the cover. This is what I look
to show on my magazine. He is
also between the ages of 22-25,
so he fits my target audience.

5. My magazine would also appeal to
this person. You can clearly see
that she is wearing the typical
“Indie” clothes, which connotes
that she is a fan of the music.
She can be seen as a stereotype
of what someone would define
as a teenage “Indie” fan. She is
around 18 years old, which is
one of the main ages that my
magazine focuses on.

6. This person fits my target audience.
The clothes that he is wearing
connote that he is a big fan of the
Indie genre, as this is what most
people in Indie bands dress like. He
would be seen as a stereotype of
what someone would define
someone else as “Indie.” He looks
between the ages of 20-25, and is
male, so he would be someone my
magazine would appeal to.

7. This person also suits my target
audience as he has the Indie fan
look. This person isn’t exactly a
stereotypical “Indie” fan, as it is a
rarity that you would find someone
of his age dressed like this. He is
also much older than the majority
of Indie fans, and his age is part of
the range that I aimed my
magazine at.

8. This person also suits the target
audience that I aimed my
magazine at. Her clothes are
a mix of both Rock and Indie
styles which are the two
genres that my magazine is
based around. She looks
between the ages of 18-22,
so she fits in with the main
ages that I aimed my
magazine towards.
